OK...having installed PF alone and having patched it up to 4.04, I am finding that the Missions aren't appearing as expected. If I select any of the three different combatant forces, and then select a 'Carrier take-off' from the Single Missions, I always find myself already airborne with the limited choice of landing on the carriers. I've also uninstalled and then reinstalled the basic 3.00 game, the same applies.
What's amiss? Any ideas? At least I can carry out the carrier landing successfully.
